Study plans
This document presents the general syllabi of all the MSc double degrees available within the
EIT Manufacturing “Data Science and AI for competitive manufacturing” programme. Please
note these are the basic versions of the study plans, in order to provide a better
understanding of the programme and the differences among the several available
combinations within the programme. Considering universities continuously develop their
education offer, some of the courses could result to be updated, changed or replaced along
the years. Once enrolled, the student will be supported by a local programme coordinator to
define the final study plan accordingly to the general structure of the EIT Manufacturing
Master programmes.
